A Look Into March

Virtual Learning Reminders

It is hard to believe it has been almost a year since I have had students in my classroom!  I just wanted to go over a couple important reminders that make virtual teaching a little easier for myself. Each day the whole class starts at 9:00am and we return after lunch at 12:15pm.  I am starting to notice more students coming back late from lunch and not returning after related arts, which ends at 1:45, or coming on and then leaving a few minutes later. I am also having more students leave their cameras off the majority of the day, even when I mention turning them on. I know the cameras may need to go off throughout the day for various reasons, but it is hard to know if your child is "with me" when I cannot see them. Also, please continue to let me know if your child has an appointment or has to be out of class for any reason. Thank you for your continued support at home!  

Reading Counts

Congrats to Kylie for earning 150 points!! Keep up the reading! If our class was f2f they would have seen Mrs. Medlock and Mrs. Busch come around with the prize cart.

We said goodbye to Joshua on Thursday. His family has been in Germany since January and since the school on base opened back up he decided to start f2f. We wish him and his family all the best!  

Curriculum

ELA-  We continue to focus on author's purpose (persuade, inform, entertain). Your child will have a graded assignment towards the middle of the week.  In writing, we continue working on literary analysis. This type of writing also involves reading since we will be analyzing texts. 

Science- We will not focus on science next week.  

Social Studies- We will be focusing on Culture and Regions. Your child will be conducting a family culture interview. 

*Please continue to refer to your child's Week At A Glance for graded assignments next week.
